A piece of paradise in Ella
Pros:

We cannot recommend this property highly enough, we didn’t want to leave.
It feels like your staying in a wealthy friends bungalow that just happens to have wonderful staff. It’s hard to leave the property. Once you have a gin and tonic or tea in hand you could spend hours just sitting in the garden and taking in the view and beauty of this property. There’s a great library and board games. It’s a real flop and drop destination.
The food is outstanding - you must do the cooking class with chef and a tour of the vegetable garden.
A must stay in Ella , we can’t wait to return.

It was a beautiful blend of luxury, hospitality, and exceptional culinary experiences.
Pros:

The entire property was beautiful - including the living area, the infinity pool with a stunning view, the room we stayed in - all of it was exceptional. The entire staff was very hospitable, especially Welles who really took care of us, and anticipated our needs and was truly such a joy to be around. We also did a cooking class with Chef Roshan and had so much fun - not only did we learn how to make delicious curries but also had an enjoyable experience.
In addition, we had a tasting menu curated by Chef Isuru, which was hands down the best meal we had during our time in Sri Lanka.
Overall, Kasun and the entire team went above and beyond to make our stay truly unforgettable.

Cons:

One of my best boutique hotel experiences ever
Pros:

A location to take your breath away. We arrived late afternoon and watched the sunset over the valley - just incredible. The old tea planter villa has been beautifully and authentically restored with comfort and sociability in mind. We didn’t read all the details but had taken the all inclusive option (which is advisable) which included all food and drinks. A cool gin and tonic on arrival really was the icing on the cake! We also opted for the cooking class which was great - we will see if we can reproduce anything as tasty!! The food was all delicious and the staff were attentive without being too much. Here you can keep yourself private but the layout in the lounge is such to allow you to converse with other guests which we really enjoyed. If you want to treat yourself - this is the place!

Cons:

Nothing

Ellaで1番のホテル!
Pros:

サービス、お食事、景色、全てが素晴らしかった。トレッキングに最適なアプリが入ったホテルのスマートフォンを貸してくださり、紅茶畑の中や風情のある駅を散歩したのは素敵な思い出です。オーガニックの野菜畑も案内してくれたり、秘密の絶景スポットにアフタヌーンティーを用意してくれたり、温かいおもてなしに感動しました。また行きたいです。

Cons:

お風呂にお湯を入れたらシャワーの分のお湯がなくなり少し寒かった

Beautiful location and good hotel if money is not a concern.
Pros:

Fantastic views set in the hills above the railway (Demodara, not Ella) and beautiful gardens and pool. Wonderful G&Ts. Lovely veranda to eat dinner.

Cons:

Having to choose breakfast and dinner well in advance. We found the service at times a bit irritating even though we knew they were trying to be helpful. Very expensive for what it is. Happy to pay more in other locations that offer more but actually this is quite far out of Ella and the food was average (excluding the breakfast which was excellent).

What an absolute treat. We would love to return or experience another place in the Teardrop group. Our children will hav
Pros:

What a beautiful place ! The garden, the house, the location, the outlook, everything was wonderful to look upon. The stillness, the sound of the birds and the temple prayers. The team were incredible - so helpful and lovely to chat with. We became close with them during our stay.
The food was exceptional- I don’t think we’ve eaten so well before on holiday.

Cons:

There was nothing we didn’t like

Perfect 4 nights!
Pros:

Amazing stay! The staff were so friendly and helpful. The hotel was peaceful, relaxing and like a small sanctuary in the tea region. Walking in the are was stunning. The food was one of the best parts of our stay. All the Sri Lankan meals were delicious.

A memorable stay

Very peaceful and quiet hotel. We felt very rested after a long day of travelling. Hotel staff were great and very friendly. Food and drinks were amazing. The team went above and beyond to make our twin beds into a double bed! The garden is beautiful and the view spectacular.

The room was very dim. Other than that it was great :)
